Psssshhh!
Did you hear that?
I think it was the sound of the proverbial "Can O' Worms" of a full resto-mod Luber.upergrin:
Good luck over there in the sand box and thanks for your service.:xyxthumbs:
Thx Buddy!:beer: I hope this doesn't get out hand. I just want to improve on the floors thats already been patched by PO. I think its so much easier to work on a rotissorie (sp). The tub has really good bones and its a lot more square than my 76 I have right now. My wife still doesn'tknow what I bought yet!!! Good thing its in storage.:xyxthumbs:

Some updates for those keeping up. Here are the pics of the rear tire carrier and front bumper after powder coating. I would have spent days tryn to get all the rust off these things and if I had painted them it would have looked like crap after three or five years. But to have these sand blasted and powder coated for less than $100 was a helluva deal to me.
I also landed some real nice factory seats (frt & rr) today for $200. I bought these from Patrick M. out of Gr'ville, super nice fella! He wanted something "nicer" so he gave my a price I couldn't say no to. He even offered to give me the factory seatbelts with it. The seats had been previously re-done in black. They look real nice and should be a great addition to my 72 whenever it gets done.
I'll post pics of the seats later, here are pics of the tire carrier & front bumper!

Yes, I will be there. My dad is coming with me so we can spend some time together before I leave.

That was a great deal on those seats from Patrick. I rubbed it in a little that they went cheap :hysterical: Looking good!

I told him I can find all three seats for around $200 in fair condition. He sent me a pic and I said his were worth more than $200 especially since they have been re-done. He said $200 and I can have them, so I said "OK!" Pat is a super nice guy who threw in a set of original seatbelts for nothing.
Try not hurt the fella with his new Esab! A dangerous welder that will let a novice know whose boss! Yaw have fun!

I'm back guys!!! Been in Kandahar way too long! As some already know I bought Chuck's halfcab, hope to pick it up this Thursday in Chucktown if I can find the restaurant. Need to find a bulkhead in decent shape and figure out a way to install it to my 76 once the top is repaired.
Anyone up for some Charleston hospitality this Thurday? Driving my Father-in-law's S-10.
